SPECIFICATION formingpart of Letters Application filed October '7, 1897. 4

- To all whom it '717101/ concern.-

Be it known that I, HELENA CECILIA Mc OARREN, a citizen of the United States, residing at Jersey City, in the county of Hudson 5 and State of New Jersey, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Hat- Pins, of. which the following is a full and com plete specification, such as will enable those skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

This invention relates to hat-pins; and the object thereof is to provide an improved device of this class which is simple'in construction and operation and comparatively inexpensive; and with this and other objects in view the invention consists in the construction, combination, and arrangement of parts hereinafter described and claimed.

The invention is fully disclosed in the fol- 2o lowing specification, of which the accompanying drawings form a part, in which Figure 1 is a central vertical section of a hat provided with two of my improved hatpins, one being placed at each side thereof;

and Fig. 3, an edge View thereof, showing the parts in different positions.

In the drawings forming part of this specification the separate parts of my improvem ent 3c are designated by the same numerals of reference in each of the views,and in said drawings I have shown in Fig. 1 a hat 5, and in the practice of my invention I provide a hatpin or fastening device which consists of an 3 5 ordinary buckle-frame 6, which is preferably substantially rectangular in form and which is provided with a transverse rod 7, on which is mounted a revoluble sleeve 8, and I also provide a yoke-shaped pin 9, which is some 40 what similar in form to an ordinary hair-pin, and said pin is provided with an oblong head 10, in which is formed an oblong slot 11, and the pint) is provided with an ogee curve or tbend 12 near the head thereof, as clearly 5 shown in Fig. 3, and the headflO of saidpin is passed through one side of the frame 6, and formed on or securedto' the side of the frame over which the head ofthe pin passes isa PIN.

headed lug or projection 13, which passes through the slot 11 in the head 10 of the pin 9.

In practice preferably two of these devices are secured to the opposite sides of the hat 5, as shown in Fig. 1, and the sides of the crown of the hat are provided with openings, as

shown at 14, and the pointed ends of the pin.

9 are passed through these openings, and it will be apparent that said pin may be turned over the sleeve 8 whenever desired by simply detaching the head 10 thereof or the lug or projection 13, said pin being shown in two dif ferent positions in Fig. 3. It will also be apparent that the pin 9 may slide through the buckle 6 when detached from the headed lug or projection 13, and the position of the pin when the hat is placed upon the head is that shown at the right of Fig. 1, and in the operation of placing the hat upon the head the prongs of the pin are turned upwardly, as

shown at the left of Fig. 1, and the head 10 thereof is connected with the lug or projection 13, and in this operation the prongs of the pin engage with the hair, and when secured in the position shown at the left of Fig. 1 the pin will securely hold the hat upon the head.

The sleeve 8 is not an absolutely necessary feature of my invention'and may or may not be employed, and it will be apparent that changes in and modifications of the construction herein described may be made without departing from the spirit of my invention or sacrificing its advantages.
